I have notice that my battery will go dead after three or four days of sitting around. The battery has be tested and is good. I have not noticed anything in the cab, lights etc. That are out of the norm. Fuse that runs the cargo light was blown, replaced it and light works fine, not sure if there is a connection there.

The code is your passenger dimming control unit. So you may have a bad door switch. Best thing to do here is to go back to the site and check how to check for battery drain. Follow the steps to find it. If doing what it says and you get no results and still have a drain, disconect the abs unit as they have been known to have a bad transistor in them athat will drain the battry. It is repairable. For around $150-175

Are you talking about the switches that run the windows and door locks?
